I like hydro, but I LOVE organics. I just feel more at home and in touch with the plants in soil then having water constantly run over them.

And besides I can yield pretty damn close to a hydro setup. Gonna be adding CO2 here in the next few months im hoping as well and then it's really game on :)
I am yielding every inch as good as hydro in ROLS... next level once soil gets to third generation, next level.

Not certain of I could commit to that kind of garden myself though. The nerd inside me needs at least seperate pots, at least that lmfao... I am running a few no-till pots, damn impressive I tell ye. Just plug a clone in and watch it GO... ideas like 3x stretch or whatever become irrelevant sometimes. They just friggin grow like monsters.

same here. and its better quality.

my next project. soma style rols. no more fabric pots. just one big roll around bed.
A big bed like that with organic soil would be great. Best case scenario imo. The only downside for me is that I run a perpetual garden, with plants at all different stages of growth (and watering needs), so I've gotten used to picking up pots to feel how heavy they are for watering that a big bed like this would be a learning curve. I think I would have to have blue mats or some other automated watering system to make it work.

I think those Blumats are the berries. Can't get them here but if I could, man, that's a lot of free time at no cost to piece of mind.

So every bit of bud was withering on the Cherry Jo #1 and the leaves were in a sorry state so I culled her.

I fingered through the buds but only found 3 small white pips. Nothing viable.

So her end of flower bananas are almost sterile. Good to know. Wish I could of seen some regrowth on her. I would of liked to have a few clones of her for another run, but I still have 6 cherry Jo beans left I believe, so All is well.

In another week or so I will begin sampling the Cherry Jo.

The daybreaker hermies I had were sterile too, had plants brushing against their nanners and no seeds at all.

Oh another thing, when I pulled apart the roots to Cherry Jo#1 it was VERY compacted from too much EWC.

I'm glad I went light on the EWC this round. I think that is why she wasn't draining well and it hurt her yield.
Yep. I run in to that problem too when I recycle my soil no-till. If I just keep top dressing castings it gets too compacted and starves the roots of oxygen. Plants look good, but the yield suffers. I cut the castings now with rice hulls and it seems to work better.
